I am going to assume 2.5x is really 25x (typo).
First formulate the equality

Now two results emerge.
.
Hope this helps.
Ok so solve
2/3 times x^2=24
m ultply both sides by 3/2 to clear fraction
x^2=36
x=-6 or 6
-6<6
answer is x=-6 is smalles solution
4+2 = 6 a a a a + a a = a a a a a a
2+4 = 6 a a + a a a a= a a a a a a
Tommy is correct They are both equal to 6
In one hour he traced the distance of: 36.15 miles
With one gallon of gas he went: 12.05 miles
;) There you go! Good Luck!
